This week’s selection:

Grand Hotel of Feeling by Lidia Brankovic
In Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, readers check into a whimsical establishment where emotions come to life as quirky hotel guests. Anger demands space for its boisterous outbursts, Sadness whispers quietly while occasionally flooding bathrooms, and shape-shifting Anxiety craves attention. This charming metaphorical journey teaches that whether feelings are big or small, pleasant or challenging, each deserves acknowledgment and respect—reminding us that all emotions, like hotel guests, are simply passing through

Ex Marks the Spot (English Edition) by Gloria Chao
Ex Marks the Spot follows Gemma as she teams up with her ex—and former academic rival—for a whirlwind treasure hunt through Taiwan, chasing clues left by the grandfather she never knew. What begins as a quest for inheritance turns into a heartfelt journey of family, identity, and unexpected romance, wrapped in clever puzzles and cultural discovery.

A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century: The Young Adult Adaptation of 'The Case Against the Sexual Revolution' by Louise Perry
In A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century, Louise Perry adapts her bestselling feminist critique for young adult readers. This March 2025 release challenges the assumed benefits of the sexual revolution, arguing that its celebrated freedoms primarily serve a small elite while often harming women. Perry offers thoughtful guidance through modern sexuality's complexities, creating an essential resource for young people navigating this confusing landscape. Her influential perspective helps a new generation understand intimate relationships where sexual liberation sometimes carries hidden costs
